We had a state holiday this last weekend so my husband didn't have to work Friday- and originally we were planning on going backpacking with my family and extended family. I decided at the last minute that backpacking with my boys was way more work then it would be worth so we didn't go. I told my husband that I didn't want to just stay home and do nothing so we decided to drive to Jackson Hole Wyoming for a day trip. I wasn't prepared for the long drive we did in one day. Especially when Blake didn't sleep for the drive at all! But luckily my sister in law lent us their potable DVD player so it saved us. Here are a few pictures from our day:
Most of the time we found people to take a picture of us but this time I just set the camera on the ground. Funny thing is the kids look at the camera better when I do that then when someone takes the picture. This is the Teton's behind us. 
One of the things we really wanted to do was the Alpine slide with the boys. I was surprised how expensive it was! But I didn't drive all that way to watch Bryan and Ty do it so I took Blake. It was the highlight of the trip for them. 
This is the top of the ski lift. Too bad it was cloudy because you can see the Tetons from up there. 
We had to take the ski lift to ride the slide. I was a little nervous Blake would freak and wiggle and fall off it but we lived. He kept telling me all done. Ty rode with Bryan up and he loved it. 
We were going to drive into Jenny's lake and go on a little day hike but it was rainy and they wanted us to pay for a week pass to get in. They didn't sale a day pass. I couldn't believe it! 25 bucks to drive in for a few hours. Government for ya. So we drove along the highway and found a lot of pretty look out points. Even one off the road next to a creek. 
My boys.
I love how both my kids are looking at the camera in this picture.
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get them to be good for a picture.
A nice lady took this for us.
I have a picture of my dad like this at Redfish lake in Idaho when my brother and I were about this age that I LOVE! So I wanted to sort of recreate it.

I love all these pictures!! Your hair has grown long again! Are you growing it out? It looks really nice and you are so pretty as always! What did you do to that last picture to make it look so nice?
Sorry again if I hurt your feelings!
How fun! And I'm seriously impressed with the timer on your camera! It did a fabulous job! Looks like a really fun getaway, how long of a drive is it? I don't think I've ever been. . .but who knows! I love the pictures!
Wow, awesome pictures. I love the one you have at the top of your page. I saw the Tetons once, so magestic! I noticed that all the boys squint their eyes the same. :)
